Clear teeth aligners and posture!? Now there is a
pair. Not necessarily a pair you’d put together though! Pensacola
teeth aligners are popular now.
Pensacola Spinal Rehab Center sees many Pensacola chiropractic patients
who have chosen to use these new devices to straighten
teeth. They are almost unseen.
They are bendable. The
clear aligner wearer can take them out whenever he or she wishes
to take them out. Wearers obtain some
control of the procedure. All is good, and yet the treatment planning
like that of Invisalign® is newer technology. Everyone is finding
out more about it. Pensacola Spinal Rehab Center had not imagined
that orthodontic and Pensacola chiropractic treatment plans might cross
paths. Surprise!
TOOTH ALIGNMENT TREATMENT AND PLANNING
Most Pensacola chiropractic patients remember
(too well for some!) the classic fixed
appliances (braces) used by orthodontists to straighten
teeth. Many Pensacola orthodontic patients experienced
them firsthand! Research reports that in
using Invisalign® technology, tooth type and movement are key
elements to consider when the
treatment plan is arranged. Invisalign® technology lets
clinicians to forecast tooth positions with high
accuracy when done in nonextraction cases, but some of the real
outcomes may vary from those expectations.
Most differences were not clinically relevant though. (1) Malocclusion
(a misalignment or imprecise relationship of
the teeth of the two dental arches when they come
close to each other as the jaws close) influences
teeth straightening treatment planning. When comparing Invisalign aligners to conventional fixed appliances for
mild to moderate malocclusion issues, they both improved
the condition. Invisalign® wearers finished faster
(by 5.7 months!). Invisalign® improvement wasn’t as “great” in efficacy
as fixed appliances. (2) One
study decided to determine associations
between body posture in the sagittal profile and sagittal jaw position. The
mandible (lower jaw) has a greater influence
on body posture than other craniofacial factors, so patients
with severe malocclusions ought to be given extra attention
especially if a jaw surgery is planned. (3)
Pensacola Spinal Rehab Center is in line with having the Pensacola
orthodontists determine this!
TOOTH ALIGNMENT WITH INVISALIGN AND POSTURE
But Pensacola Spinal Rehab Center is fine when called upon to help with any posture
issues that arise. A recent study points out that clear,
occlusal coverage aligners like Invisalign® may well sway
body posture. The upper spine and lower spine sections are influenced. When clear aligner wearers were examined after 6
months of use, the Kyphosis Angle, the Upper Thoracic Inclination and
Pelvic Inclination were modified. It’s been reported
that these clear aligners adjust a wearer’s vertical
height due to the aligners placement over the teeth and,
then, stimulate periodontal receptors inhibiting
the jaw closing muscles and, quite possibly, changing
mandibular posture. (4)
Pensacola Spinal Rehab Center is as amazed as our Pensacola chiropractic
patients with everything that is possible with these clear aligners!
Pensacola Spinal Rehab Center is aware of this potential and keeps it in
mind when examining Pensacola chiropractic patients who wear
these.
